Previews Exclusive The Walking Dead Black & White Comic Book Edition Zombie Action Figure 2 Pack

If you’re familiar with Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead then you know the comic book series is actually produced in black and white. To recreate their look in the comics, McFarlane Toys has produced black and white variants of its Comic Book Edition Series 1 Zombie action figures. This two figure set is a Previews exclusive and includes a B&W Zombie Lurker and a B&W Zombie Roamer. It’s just too bad we didn’t also get black and white variants of Rick Grimes and Michonne!

The Previews Exclusive The Walking Dead Black & White Comic Book Edition Zombie 6” Action Figure Set is not scheduled to hit stores until October 2011, but you can pre-order these ghoulish figures from Entertainment Earth here for $34.99.

SDCC 2011 Exclusive Batman 20” Mega Mez-Itz Vinyl Figure by Mezco Toyz

Yesterday, MTV Geek! broke the news that Mezco Toyz would be releasing its very first 20 inch Mega Mez-Itz vinyl figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2011, and it’s of none other than the caped crusader himself, Batman! The Blot definitely did not see a 20” Mez-Itz in the works, and I’m really interested in seeing if there’s a market for such a large and expensive Batman toy. Mezco will be releasing two different colorways of its DC Universe Mez-Itz Mega Scale Batman, the standard black and gray Batman and a limited edition variant blue and gray Batman.

The Blot’s a huge Batman fan, and will a real cloth cape the blue and gray version is almost a must buy for me. If only it didn’t carry a price tag of $200! Then again, at 20” tall from the tip of his ears to the soles of his batboots, the DC Universe Mez-Itz Mega Scale Batman is the same price as a Mega Munny and a fraction of the cost of the last few 20” Dunnys. Regardless of the price, I’m pretty excited to see pictures of this bad boy from San Diego in just a few short weeks.

Just like the standard Mez-Itz vinyl figures, the SDCC 2011 Exclusive Batman Mega Scale Mez-Itz features 5 points of articulation and is currently available for pre-order at the Mezco Toyz online store.

General Mills Pop! Ad Icons Vinyl Figures: Count Chocula, Franken Berry & Boo Berry

Funko announced its newest line of Pop! vinyl figures last week, Pop! Ad Icons, and its first wave includes three of General Mills’ most iconic characters: Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry. If you’re in your 20s and 30s then just the mention of these animated spokesmen should transport you back to a simpler time of Saturday morning cartoons and incredibly sugary cereal! While my mom would never let me eat Count Chocula, Franken Berry or Boo Berry cereal, I loved watching these animated advertisements anytime they came on the screen. I can’t wait to see what other General Mills characters Funko has in the works. Might we see the Trix Rabbit, Yummy Mummy or the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee!?!

Each General Mills Pop! Ad Icons vinyl figure stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. While these 3 figures are not expected to ship until September 2011, you can already pre-order them from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.
